While Hyping Electric Cars, Weir Compares Gas-Powered Cars To Horses
CNN climate correspondent Bill Weir joined Thursday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom to applaud California’s new edict that will ban new gas-powered cars by 2035. Weir didn’t see what the big deal is considering horses used to be a primary mode of transportation.
CNN Admits Canceling Student Debt Is Legally Dubious, Boosts Inflation
While many in the liberal media were lauding President Biden for announcing he plans to cancel between $10,000 and $20,000 in student debt per borrower, CNN’s At This Hour swallowed the hard pill and admitted that not only was the move legally questionable but also could cause inflation to spike yet again. But whatever goodwill that reporting may have garnered was squandered…
CNN Corrects CNN's Award Winning Fact Checker On Texas Abortion Law
CNN’s Tom Foreman is an award winning fact checker, but on Thursday’s CNN Newsroom he spread some fake news about Texas’s new pro-life law, declaring that it is now a felony to provide an abortion in order save the life of the mother. In the next hour, host Poppy Harlow would contradict him while teeing up another pro-abortion segment.
Collective Yawn: Nets Bury CA’s RADICAL Move to End Gas-Powered Cars
California is aggressively moving to end all gas-powered cars by the year 2035. You might think that would be a big deal on the networks. But you’d be wrong. ABC and NBC responded with a collective yawn on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, allowing 23 seconds and 30 seconds, respectively. But that’s still better than CBS. The network avoided California’s radical move, skipping it on the…
Morning Joe Mute as Crist Calls His 'Amazing' Popularity a 'God Thing'
Charlie Crist used to be a Republican. Then he became an independent. Later he was a Democrat. Now, the protean politician appears to be portraying himself as the candidate of the Party of God! Can Charlie Crist possibly believe that he is God's chosen candidate? Or is his current flaunting of religiosity just the latest cynical change of colors by the ultimate political chameleon?

Why Does Our Government Need So Many Guns?
“Astanding military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty.”—James Madison. Conspiracy theories sometimes have at least a thread of truth in them, which is what makes them valid to some on the far right. One of those theories is that the federal government is not on their side. Concern has been raised in conservative circles about the hiring of…
Avlon Lauds Biden's Student Loan Order, Agrees It's Like Cutting Taxes
CNN senior political analyst John Avlon joined Thursday’s edition of New Day to declare that GOP opposition to President Biden’s student loan forgiveness order is unwarranted because it is “good economic policy” and the White House is correct to say that Republicans aren't in a position to complain because of their history of cutting taxes.
Doocy, CBS Reporter Battle Stammering Jean-Pierre on Student Loan Debt
Thanks to President Biden’s seemingly endless vacations, Wednesday marked the first White House press briefing in 15 days and, not surprisingly, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s succinctness didn’t improve. Worst yet, it came as President Biden announced he would forgive $10,000 to $20,000 in student loans for millions of Americans. Sure enough, Fox’s Peter Doocy and Real Clear Politics’s…
CNN Analyst Slams Biden Student Loan Plan: Wasting Too Much Money!
Wednesday night's edition of Don Lemon Tonight had a rare moment of sanity when discussing President Joe Biden's student loan bailout. CNN economics commentator Catherine Rampell slammed the plan as essentially a waste of money since it is structured in a way that bails out wealthy people with MBAs and medical degrees who are perfectly capable of paying the loans back.
NYTimes: Fight for Fetal Personhood Mere ‘Strategy,’ Fetal Pain a Myth
Are conservatives not allowed to hold genuine beliefs on abortion? The front page of Monday’s New York Times showed the outlet once again reducing actual pro-life beliefs to cynical politics. Reporter Kate Zernike wrote “Is a Fetus a Person? An Anti-Abortion Strategy Says Yes.” Zernike showed her pro-choice bona fides in this story about pro-life activists working to confer personhood…
Nets Hype Biden Student Loan Bailout, Omit Pelosi's Criticism
On Wednesday evening, the three evening broadcast networks gushed over President Joe Biden’s bailout for millions of Americans who willingly took out student loans. A slap in the face to all who paid off their loans or who never went to college. While this point of view was brushed off by the three networks, the constitutionality of Biden forgiving student loans was completely ignored.…
NewsBusters Podcast: Media Brush Redistricting Errors Under the Rug
On this edition of the NewsBusters Podcast, Managing Editor Curtis Houck and I breakdown a new NewsBusters study of the media’s silence about how Census Bureau errors largely hurt red state representation.

CNN Whines Nadler vs. Maloney: Shouldn't 'Have Even Happened,' 'Nuts'
As part of the Democratic Party primaries in New York Tuesday night, one of the “liberal lions of Manhattan politics,” Representative Carolyn Maloney lost to fellow lion Representative Jerry Nadler after their districts were consolidated and rearranged via a court order. But on that day’s Don Lemon Tonight, the “journalists” of CNN were less than enthused about two big-named Democrats…
